Humble Genes

Devesh Samtani was a talented, young, smart and promising designer that was set to enter his freshman year at NYU when his life was tragically cut short just two weeks prior to the start of his first semester. From Hong Kong, Samtani was already working on establishing himself as a fashion designer with a cool brand comprising of hats and hoodies called Humble Genes. While remembered as humble, Devesh was also known as someone who was full of life and to keep his legacy, his friends and family decided to proceed with the launching of his brand. With all proceeds going to the Devesh Samtani Foundation, this non-profit is already helping children from low-income families receive quality educations. Fashion meets charity and this month, in honor of what would have been Devesh's 19th birthday, the foundation launched their first initiative - Devu's Mathlete - a program to aid development in potential young math stars. In    a time where there is so much turmoil in the world, this foundation helps spread love, joy and kindness, just the way Devesh did.

Pharaoun Cocktail Rings

 

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Pharaoun plays their part in the call to end the disease. With 100% (yes one-hundred percent!) of the purchase price of Pharaoun's Anaïs Cocktail Ring donated to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, you are not only adding beauty to your own life, but you are helping to save the lives of others. The pink ring, which was named after the designer's daughter, is seriously stunning to the eye. After losing his own wife to cancer, the designer has made a clear message in  both his charitable efforts and designs. "Strength." While there are many beautiful ways to desirable his collection, "Strength" is certainly the underlying theme. Sergio Andrés Mendoza doesn't just design for women, he clearly understands women and sincerely values them. He is able to translate such value into his work. Bold designs are reminiscent of the power that each piece's wearer holds. Not for the faint hearted, each ring is an emblem of independence and the courage of the female being. A Pharaoun cocktail ring is something to cherish and will immediately make one stand out.
